Out this Oct. 15th!

Finally, everything I've decided to do has taken shape! The magazine will be part of my digital flagship (that's all I can tell for now). I am super excited and ready to work hard. Anyway, I'll let you guys know when the project is coming out. But right now here comes my first online bi-monthly magazine featuring Tricia Gosingtian; inspirational blogger and photographer from Phillipines. And showcase of tailored clothes by Thai designers 'Monosodium' and 'Adamo'. Out this Oct 15th!

Behind the scene

Yesterday would have been impossible without the help of all those people I had at the set. Not everything went smoothly of course that's why there's always a second plan and so forth. You can read more in an Editor's Note and see the whole photo shoot in the magazine which is out in Oct 15.

Here's a funny sneak-peep from behind the scene:

Fashion inspiration workshop..

I was so glad to take part in this workshop at Mood today. Our lecturer; Mr.Teerarit, is a graduate from Istituto Marangoni Milan majored in fashion styling. Back then I didn't even know that fashion forecast exists! Fashion is a business, a huge one. And there's more than meets the eyes about being fashion designers. To fully understand it you have to remove every glamorous tear sheets you see in the magazine (even movies). Fashion designers work really hard and rarely have time for family or friends. They spend about 5-10% of their time being creative with paper and pencil and most of the time being an entrepreneur. Speaking of which kinda reminds me of how I used to jumped the gun about design.

I was commented on how being a 'perfectionist' isn't productive. There's a process to everything; from finding inspiration, mapping ideas, making mood board and then there's commercial design analysis. I visualize the finished look but instead of being creative I was blocking potential windfall. Sketching shouldn't make you feel morose. Even if it's not a salient sketch but it does in term of seminal. Don't over-think it, just go banana!

I know I was supposed to...

It's a good day for sharing pictures! I know it isn't much but hey, it's way too sweltering for blazer or cardigan. By the way, please help rate on lookbook (I've never got it above 5 hypes lol).

Makeup workshop..

So I attained the workshop yesterday and it was held really early in the morning (not a morning person that I am) but it felt good actually. I mean there're so many things to do and waking up early means longer hours.

I had a hidden agenda attending the makeup workshop though. Like many of you guys, I learn my techniques and how-to on Youtube. But as long as I'm running my own fashion e-mag, I'm gonna need more people on board. Back then I had 0 contact in the fashion industry. But through several social networking or getting together with people of mutual interest, you are actually placing your foot in the right direction.

When the workshop finished, it was getting really cloudy and about to rain (not cool especially during seasonal flu 2010). Maybe I should be getting vaccinated just in case. 'Nyway, back to the shopping spree. Didn't really buy any clothes but I've got a really good book written about fashion industry. It guides you through the whole process; you'll understand the reasoning behind the marginal cost, how samples are delivered, why runway. It's called 'The Fashion Designer's Survival Guide".

The museum is not far from where I was at. Asides from showcase, the place also allows artists to bring talent to those who would love to have their portraits hand-drawn into a canvas of A3 size.

This one really gets me: some would call an artist choice of muse. I only remembered partial of its description though. The film run through a projector behind my back in a dark square room. It had black curtain covered everything so it was really pitch dark so all you could see was a big projected screen in front. Capture outside describes something like this: When God created the World He had a magical bag. African had been blessed with natural resources and physical strength. But upon the arrival of western colonialism, African was left with slavery, poverty and eternal oblivion.

Bloggers, I hope you think about fashion philanthropy. Not now but when you have excess. Maybe someone out there is in desperate need of help.

Teenage mood..

Well mainstream music is not my thing but this time I fell completely in love with Katy Perry (after watching x-factor x-rated lifesaver clip yeah!). So I youtubed her and listened to her single: "Teenage Dream". Gotta say, the male protagonist is smokin' hot (she does know her stuff).

So I did a mood board out of this inspiration. The theme is as the title implies; teenage dream - I think everyone's got one every once in a while. If life gets too hard it's okay to take a slow walk and just feel the breeze. Go banana, get cranked, drunk, almost sober but never really, hang with friends & wake up late.

Teenage Dream by Shebelle featuring a tote duffle bag

I love Charlotte Taylor's debut so it has been my plan to feature her collection in the set. Also the color of my styling was inspired by Vanessa Bruno Fall'10.

On newsstand..

Cheeze - featuring street wear of teenagers in Thailand. The magazine just becomes available today on the newsstands you can find in Bangkok. The style doesn't vary much from these past months. Long maxi b/w stripes is still a favorite among Thai teenagers including stripes and dotted shorts.

Street shopper..

Been out to the location where our photo shoot is gonna take place. Didn't go too well when you have to do almost everything by yourself though *sighs*. The honcho who runs the place is definitely an articulate guy (not in a good way) and very annoying. I guess if your morning starts badly then it's all drained for the rest of the day. Anyway, just posted the look du jour onto my lookbook (please vote to cheer me up guys!)

Got a chance to stop by at Silom st. The most fascinating thing is how they sell affordable clothes\accessories on pedestrian. I bought myself a belt at $2!

Can't wait...

to witness major fashion show here in Bangkok Metropolitan. The event will be held between October 20-26 under the theme Gateway To World Fashion In Asia". Honestly, our neighbor was enjoying Korean FNO while Bangkok is asleep. But nevertheless, the fashion will be held and I'll be witnessing this seven-day fair including a fashion show from Vivien Westwood. Can't wait.

Monkey business..

This is the business card I made for my magazine. *sighs* How I wish seaming is as easy as digitalizing designs. Sorry my dear, can't be too crisp&clear on my card. :)

Guys..

I'll try to be eclectic on my blog. They say, "Fashion is everywhere, you can find inspiration from everything," hence, I'm going to try posting everything asides from fashion too. Well this'll include music, movies, and some other thing I wanna express more.

Pictures of Yesterday

Had a chance to take couple of photos of me with my new plumps. So I'm thinking about selling clothes online. My future project will involve designers' clothes, yes! But right now I'll sell vintage, streetwear items just to accumulate online experiences. Anyway, here are the shots.

It's FNO!!

Sources: http://www.facebook.com/pages/New-York-NY/Fashions-Night-Out/79996199375

Officially launched yesterday (according to my time) and I know how everyone's been buzzing like bees. Most down-to-earth fashion event where everyone can join. And as I'm typing there's roughly 12 hours left before the party's over. Don't forget to go check the places out. So what's the deal? Guests can buy designer clothes right after the show; no more 6-month waiting! This is Anna Wintour's idea to help stimulate fashion economy that even people who aren't into fashion can excuse themselves to buy designer clothes. Go get some fun before the event's over. If you want to know what's going on in real-time, check CBS or follow the official twitter chanel. Let me know if you've bought something.

Visiting Library

A glimpse of student's Moodboard at FKCC. I've been doing a lot of research involving fashion trend recently. Running your own e-magazine really stretches individual abilities. I can recall being shy, self-centered, keeping everything to myself. And now it's all about e-communicating, people hunting, networking. There's a lot to talk about networking though. The most basic fundamental is twitter - it allows 2-way communication! :)
